Sarm Robertson: "I love Adam Barlow's camel coat"

In this week's Inside Soap magazine there's a good interview with Sam Robertso, who plays Adam Barlow in Coronation Street.

Sam is asked a whole load of questions sent in by fans and answers them as best as he can. There's one question that made me laugh out loud when I read the answer to it.

Q: "Do you have a favourite item in Adam's wardrobe?"A: "I love his camel coat - he wears that a lot because I insist on it. It's from Reiss and it's expensive. So I feel rich when I'm wearing it. It makes me happy!"

Sam also says he would bring back Craig Charles, who played Lloyd Mullaney, to the show if he could. I can only agre with that.

That makes three of us who would like Lloyd back.Adam's coat isn't bad but it's too close-fitted to be of any use as a proper coat: has Adam ever been able to wear a proper suit and tie under it and button it up?

I agree with Diane. I hate the coat too - or rather, I suppose rather than hating the coat, I dislike seeing it on Adam Barlow. He can't wear it with any style, hands in pockets, ill fitting and unflattering. It was a relief to see him in another this week.

I find Adam so disagreeable that he could wear white tie or a burlap sack, it wouldn't matter. Bringing back Lloyd, on the other hand, is a stellar idea. We like Tim but Lloyd is Steve's bestie and good lord does he need a friend right now. Even if it's only for a visit. A few Skype calls. Anything.
